Abstract
The purpose of studying space pattern in S. Parman Street Corridor Semarang is actually to examine the link between economic and social factors of community, space pattern, and the impact on the existing regulation. The methodology used in this study is a rationalistic approach by applying qualitative paradigm in relation to the purpose of the study. This approach needs theoretical framework that based on the experts’ theories, to be constructed become grand concepts with holistic study. According to the result and the analysis, the author found that corridor space pattern in S. Parman Street is closely related to the economic status and social life of the people. Some of the reasons could be that the economic condition may encourage people to optimize and expand their lots to build new buildings included the activities support facilities inside their lot which very much different from the original building. People could also rebuild their own house basically because of their needs and their ability to financing the process of rebuilding. Besides, the social life of these people are already changed and such condition will then influence the existancy of their buildings or even their lots. It is therefore, the changes of the economic status and social life of the people will directly provide an impact of the spatial pattern and the size of the building. Furthermore, there were some changes particularly on the function of the buildings along the corridor which were housing before. Almost 75% of the buildings changed into various functions, such as office buildings, business, services, hotel, etc. These developments actually did not match with the land use regulation of the local government for this area which should be settlement and not for mixed use. The deviation of this development process in the corridor of S. Parman Street is one of the consequences of the economic status and social level of the people.
In the future development, hopefully, the development process in the study area will always consider the regulation of the local government and likewise the environment.
